You can edit it that file it won't gain you anything. Google doesn't require a certain layout nor will they pay attention to a changed one.

Hi Jack

Thank you for the reply

I spoke to my host and they said its because they do not support the ftp_connect()

Shared hosting will not allow you to FTP from Godaddy, and that may be the same if you are using shared hosting... or a bad hosting service.  However, you can pull the feed via FTP from Google, TheFind and Bing.  They all have that mechanism in place. Google and The Find are easy to find in their dashboards. Bing's you will have to dig for it under Tools/FTP Settings.  Good luck.

Hello,

i had include the addon.
But when i create the Google data feed i became the error:
Warning: USU5 could not find a valid base filename, please inform the developer. in /homepages/1/d12345678/htdocs/shop/includes/application_top.php on line 68

What is my mistake
Best regards

[Jack_mcs]

That's a problem in the USU5 contribution. You should ask your question there.

[rw72]

But i became the error only when i use the contribution.
On the History are special Downloads from googlefeeder.php for SEO.

[Jack_mcs]

If you turn off that contribution and turn the seo option off in the googlefeeder.php file, does the error still occur? If not, it is a problem with that contribution. If it does, then you have something wrong in your setup since this contribution won't be using that contribution at that point.

I had in the googlefeeder.php set to false an in the admin i set the seo to false.
I became the error:
Warning: USU5 could not find a valid base filename, please inform the developer. in /homepages/1/d123456789/htdocs/shop/includes/application_top.php on line 68

Hello,

When I have products_model enabled I get a error on the upload (Unrecognized attribute: model). Should this option be disabled?

The error is telling you you need to contact the developer of SEO 5.

The feed should be accepted without that option set. But the error sounds like it is saying it is looking for an attribute so you may have the options setup incorrectly.

With googles new switching to paid listings, I have switched to Bing shopping and have started using bingfeeder.php

The problem I am having is the availability column is not acceptable as a 1 to bing.  I get the following. Unknown product StockStatus listed in feed. Use only 'In stock', 'Out of Stock', 'Pre-Order' and 'Back-Order'

I have gone in and manually changed the feed file replacing all 1 with In stock, and it works that way, but is there some code I can add to bingfeeder.php so it does it automatically?

You can compare the bingfeeder file with the googlefeeder file and copy the code that has to do with availability and then change the types of availability options.

Thanks Jack, but I give up I have tried including the availability from googlefeeder and I am just getting a blank field, so I hard coded it.

Jack,

Can you explain how I would setup weight based shipping in the googlefeeder file?

I went through and see the area (in the googlefeeder.php file) where it shows options based on type of shipping (like ground, overnight, 2 day, and I can enter in my own values.

But I can't figure out how to have it setup with a weight based scale, like I use in osc.  For example, up to 1lb $3.40, 1.01 lbs to 3lbs $4.20, 3.01 lbs to 6.0lbs $5.00

You can't do that in the settings, as far as I know. But you can setup such an option in the googlebase shipping section, last I looked.

Okay.  Thanks.

I also found my problem.  My feed was being "disapproved" because it said the shipping wasn't defined.  But it was all setup in my "settings" section of my google merchant account.

What I found is there is a checkbox there too, marked "default" it wasn't clicked.  So everything should be good again now.

But if anyone else has this issue, click the default checkbox.

I've just installed the add on and have been getting the feed and loading it manually up to Google Shopping.

However, I'm getting crawl errors with the links supplied in my feed.

Using 'Fetch as Google' I'm getting 200 OK responses to my bog standard html pages and images etc., but any php script in OsCommerce is being returned as a 500 internal server error, so as Google can't crawl/access my OSC pages it won't display my items in Google Shopping.

Does anybody have any idea whats causing the error?

Thanks.

I have this module installed, when I click on "Create and do not upload a Google Base data feed" I get an empty googlebase.txt can anyone tell me what I did wrong?

IT is probably due to the language. If you are using the latest version, the language should be figured out automatically but that may be failing for some reason. You will need to determine the ID of the default language and change the setting in the googlefeeder.php file to use it.

Has anything changed very recently on Google Merchant feeds? On Friday we submitted our standard feed (7,000+ products) we've been doing for months, no issues. Today we submit with a few minor changed and we get "0 of 7,000 items inserted". Can't seem to find an issue. anyone having similar problems?

Thanks!
